Information is everywhere and yet many women still don’t truly understand how our bodies work and specifically, how our lower genital tract works. Dr Anita Mitra, AKA The Gynae Geek, believes that we can only be empowered about our health when we have accurate information. This book will be that source.

This book takes you from your first period to the onset of menopause and explains everything along the way. From straightforward information about whether the pill is safe, which diet is best for PCOS, what an abnormal smear actually means, if heavy periods are a sign of cancer, right through to extraordinary tales from the Clinic. This straight to the heart, sharp shooting guide will become the go-to reference book for all young women seeking answers about reproductive health as well as a way to dispel the swathe of misinformation that’s out there.

Dr Anita Mitra shares her personal experiences with stress and anxiety and her learnings about how the gynaecological health of women can be influenced by lifestyle choices.

Every girl needs to be aware of this!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 7, 2020

Verified Purchase

I did learn some interesting things from this book. But honestly a little dissapointed as I thought their would be more useful hacks. And there was a lot of focus getting pregnant.

Got a bit bored in the middle so I suggest read a chapter that relates to you otherwise a lot of reference on pregnancy. I enjoyed it and would still recommend it to all women as we should know our body better than anyone! And Dr Anita does stipulate this notion throughout. We should absolutely invest in our body and take care of ourselves instead of depending on medicine to do all the work!

Good read and glad it's available for everyone! Some embarrassing questions answered and all the information is summarised well!

Sheena

The modern guide to a woman’s body

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

This was only the funniest scientific book I’ve ever read. Not only does she make learning about your body entertaining with her somewhat surprising anecdotes like fishing a disco ball out of someone’s vagina; she uses belly-laughing metaphors to help you remember the science such as “your Fallopian tubes are pretty flexible guys, flapping around like a Mexican wave, so that they can pick up an egg from either ovary”. She has successfully normalised talking about female gonads and is helping empower women to take ownership of their bodies and physical health, one witty comment at a time.

A must read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is a must read for all - women and men (and their sons and daughters) alike, to begin breaking down the barriers around this subject.
This is a great first offering from Dr Mitra who explains the science behind the reality in an accessible and jargon-free way. After reading this book, you are left amazed at how little you knew previously and wanting to learn more.
I have encouraged my friends and relatives to read this book and pass it on, to spread the knowledge and awareness of this too-infrequently talked about topic.
I can't wait to find out if there are other books in the pipeline for Dr Mitra as it would be great to have a series of similarly accessible and fun books directed at the younger age groups.

A must read for all young women- and some older too :)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 28, 2019

Verified Purchase

Really pleased with this purchase! It was as I'd hoped and I highly recommend it. As a health care professional/ someone interested in health/ science the content wasn't all a complete revelation- but this is still valuable book, a good reference guide and I believe all young women should read it! Equally suitable for an older audience and probably depends on your level of understanding about the body as to how useful you will find it. Hugely more relevant to a woman's health than any biology lesson or sex education lesson at school!! This book can be read page by page but you can also flick between topics you're most interested in, such as fibroids, or endometriosis. Please keep writing!

Must read book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 9, 2019

Such a refreshing approach. No nonsense presentation with neat punch summaries. My only wish is that there were two more chapters dealing with premenopausal and menopause.
